 * Hello.
 * I have a blog at poorandpretty.com, but I’ve set up a test site as well (under
   a different url) so I can try out different themes before I apply them to the
   actual blog. Today I tried exporting my posts from the original site to the test
   site and the only posts that showed up on the test site were drafts.
 * The original site is using WP 2.8.4 and the test site is 3.0.4. I’ve tried upgrading
   the original site through the automatic upgrade feature, but it always gets stuck
   at the download part. I’ve read in a few places that this could be due to having
   an older version of MySQL, but both blogs are running MySQL 5.0.
 * Any ideas what could be happening? Thanks in advance!

 * Try adding `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php` to the top of your WordPress .htaccess 
   file on your original site.

 * Hmm.. that gave me an internal server error. Not sure if I added it in the right
   place though. Here’s what my .htaccess file looks like:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * …where should I insert this?

 * PHP4 for both sites (they’re under the same hosting account).
